A mindless comment can instigate a wildfire of hatred and violence. Instead of fueling these instigations of hatred with more angry responses and letting these hateful comments negatively affect us, we can choose to respond with elegance and ignore these hateful comments. We have the power to choose how we react to the people and things that hurt us. Even if these hateful comments may shoot like sharp arrows toward us, we can transform them into a harmless shower of flowers.
